Made from 100% Tencel, the Tender Touch mattress protector is so supple, smooth and comfortable that it can be used as a fitted sheet as well as a mattress protector. Tencel, smoother than cotton, is made from sustainable sources of Eucalyptus, and has a natural moisture management system, drawing moisture away from the skin and then releasing it back into the environment. This unique system is naturally anti bacterial and provides a superior sleeping environment. Ideal for those with sensitive skin and for memory foam users. The miracle membrane on the reverse provides a porous but waterproof, dust mite and allergy barrier on the sleep surface. This stops the bed from being nourished by nightly perspiration and dead skin cells and so creating a healthy sleep zone, and protecting your mattress, making it last longer.
